If we cannot come together in our quest for justice for Trayvon Martin

now

how can we expect to teach our children

and

how can we embrace each other at all

in the greater circle of our lives?

We are stronger together

than we will ever be apart.

WE MUST STAND.

I’ve been saying this for weeks now,

through tears, through angst,

through and by listening to all who are weighing in and now those who are spinning webs of deceit and heartache to the family of this youth,

and listening as well to the children

who are also hearing all of this.

The questions of kids are many,

the speculation

does not change the reality.

and the reality is

a child was killed by the willful act of an adult

who was told by the police to not pursue him.

But he did.

And then, maybe he beat himself up afterwards

who knows.

But we need our children and adults alike to be safe

when they are not in our homes.

We need folks safe in their homes

without someone giving out their addresses

to others Spike what were you thinking when putting those folks in harms way.

bless our children,

bless the parents of

Trayvon Martin

and hold them closely in thought and prayers.

Just kids

all colors, shapes and sizes

some in hoodies, some without

all just out there.

“Everything now, we must assume, is in our hands; we have no right to assume otherwise. If we do notfalter in our duty now, we may be able, handful that we are, to end the racial nightmare, and achieve our country, and change the history of the world.”James Baldwin

6 comments on “Oprah would love to talk to Zimmerman?”

When is the Oprah worshipers gonna wake up. It is all about money and it will always be for her. The Bobbie Kristian interview should have told all of us something. Too interview a torn, heart breaking girl that mother just died a tragic death so soon and standing up. Now wanting to talk to Zimmerman? Smells like money to me. Just read article where she fired Rosie, the question is why did she hire that sleaze bag anyway. She was supposed to hire Wynonna and gave her the heave ho for Rosie. Now Wynonna will not go on her show, she told her NO, you hired Rosie and live with it. I never thought she was so great anyway. Thats my story and I am sticking to it. Just another rich person making it big on other peoples tragedy. Blessings to all and especially to Trayvon family.

I have read this again, am am glad to see some have commented to indeed show they are standing and are here with voices, have again written the governor of florida, am still waiting for justice. just heard the brother of zimmerman say that george did fight back, and had he not shot the kid he would be in diapers he was pummelled so badly with is broken nose and bloodly self.. NOT believing it, as the video and mug shot show it a lie. where is the justice, and i too have lost respect for oprah as she seems to have lost her way. thnaks doc for keepin it real sorry that so many are not leaving their voices with the support you give so many, think people like it when you lift them rather than keep it real. the first two seemed to have brought folks out to say it and to remember sometimes sharing what is not always pleasant is always necessarty.

hellooooo.sometimes silence is golden,sometimes there are just not the words to speak,I find it deplorable that there has been no arrest made of the infamous Mr. Z….My heart breaks for the parents of Trayvon…Here we are, 2012 , USA..am I proud to bear witness to thisinsane injustice ?NOT.STOMP !!!!where is the Governor of FL ???hiding out in shame, for sure…." mad as hell, not gonna take it "sign me,hugging my angels ….A.p.s. I ahve absolutely not a bitof respect for Oprah…I will not view or read anythingshe has to say ever again unless she wakes up , gets out of her$$$$ world and does the right thing here… shame on her !

Dear Dr. Sherry and friends. Just want you to know you do not stand alone in this horrific event. I have just run out of words to say as my heart remains heavy. My prayers for you each day and love and hugs sent for you. May those who stop by here be Blessed and have a peaceful evening /Sandy♥

i'm with the writer above Doc, thanks for raising hell, and it sure seems in taking a stand you are now standing alone here…visiting I am from reading about this on another page, and along with the reader above, feels like we've gone back to the days where we have to stand and raise our voice to be heard… am a bit surprised by the silence here on a pge filled with such passionn and honesty. thank you for being here, and continuing to stand.

DC is an amazing Place to get reconnected with the political energy inside the beltway. Especially when you have been away from the madness of it all. so how is it that regular people in regular communities don't get it that they too have a voice.You have to raise a lot of hell to be heard but it can be done. I am glad so many are outraged at what has happened in Fl. It's not good enough to pretend that EVERY act of violence against an innocent individual is growing a more and more violent world. I want to go back to the 60's and the hippie days where we believed in peace and protests and the power of making our voices heard. Thanks doc for taking a stand. So where are the other voices that belong here? Everybody quiet???
